Great book, great motivation.
This book is my speed. I am a LAZY runner and I think #1 you have respect for Hal. He's a runner's runner. He will motivate you to run using health facts and things like that. I generally only run for health because of the cardio aspect, but really, this book isn't only about running, its about a life style of health that uses running as a part of it. Its a domino effect when you start running, you start eating better to perform better, then you start doing strength training because you feel better about yourself and your work outs, before long you're like a health fiend looking at $400 shoes to run in. I really felt good about reading this book, and have 3 times now! Hal will inspire you to run, and get healthy all in one fell swoop. Great book, great motivation.

I have just started running in the mornings nowadays. Seems like the book would be pretty helpful to beginners like me. After having run for a week or so, i feel, i need something to motivate myself into it. Maybe the book might help me out on that. Will definitely check it out!
I'd like to hear more about what kinds of things the book offers. Like jnjcasper commented, does it take you through the stages you need to build up to $400 shoes? Does it tell me a lot about how to eat better instead of just telling me that I should do it?
I'm lazy too! But I really want to learn how to find the motivation and be a better runner. From what you're saying, it looks like this book will tell me just that. You've motivated me to save up for this baby. :P Thanks!
I hope the book takes you through the stages before you buy the $400 shoes. Unfortunately, it is too easy to buy the shoes first, run a few times, and then quit. Its good the motivation is provided, though.
Sounds like a great book for beginners! I will add it to my reading list.
